Canadian stocks are lower this afternoon, with declines among
shares of energy and mining companies on lower oil and gold prices.
Overall losses have been offset a little by gains for financial and
info tech stocks. Technology shares are aided by an analyst upgrade
of Research in Motion (RIM.TO, RIMM).

Here's where the Canadian markets stand today:

- S&P/TSX Composite Index down 28.49 (-0.24%) to
12,011.91.

- S&P/TSX Venture Composite Index down 0.04 to 1,249.92.

In company news, Research in Motion is up 3% at around $9.86 a
share after earlier cracking the $10 mark for the first time since
late June as the stock was raised to Hold from Underweight at
Jefferies.

Analysts at the firm said they are expecting a much more
positive market reception than once thought for the new BlackBerry
10 operating system when it debuts in January.
